COPENHAGEN, Oct 15 — The World Health Organization’s European office said today the soaring number of Covid-19 cases in Europe was of “great concern”, but that the situation was still better than the peaks in April. “Covid is now the fifth leading cause of deaths and the bar of a 1,000 deaths per day has now been reached.”“Although we record two to three times more cases per day compared to the April peak, we still observe five times less deaths, and the doubling time in hospital admissions is still two to three times longer,” Kluge said.
However, Kluge added that if measures against the virus were relaxed, projections showed that by January 2021 mortality levels could be four to five times those recorded in April.
